Greece has a rich trade history and promising potential but faces several pain points that hinder its full commercial potential.
The region displays complex administrative procedures. Consequently, navigating Greek bureaucracy can be cumbersome and time-consuming for businesses. Additionally, unclear and contradictory regulations can create uncertainty and compliance burdens for exporters and importers.
As a member of the European Union, Greece adheres to various EU regulations on tech trade, particularly regarding product safety, environmental protection, and data privacy. These regulations might impose specific certifications or licensing requirements for certain technologies.
Greece also has its own national regulations governing tech trade, sometimes additional to or stricter than EU requirements. These regulations cover import/export controls, technical specifications, and market access.
An Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number is mandatory for any entity involved in customs procedures within the European Union, including Greece.
